In a world crowded with overdesigned footwear and loud marketing that tries too hard, we chose to go back in time, back to authenticity and simplicity.

We revived a design that has always been a symbol of Shaolin strength and discipline, the shoe worn by kung fu masters, seen in Henan Tempels, on global stages, and at the Olympics. It's a timeless design that doesn’t age, crafted from simple materials proven to be comfortable, light, and durable.

We partnered with the original factory, the one that lost the rights to sell their own creation after an unfair legal battle. We chose to help return what was taken away from them.

Every Lqdam pair carries the same spirit as the original: flexible, steady, and made for movement.

Lqdam is light, flexible, and built to last, made for martial arts and movement practice, and great for skateboarding and parkour, with lasting comfort at a fair price.

Lqdam, which means "Leap Forward" in Arabic, is a movement and a voice we want everyone to hear. It's a message that says, what was taken unfairly should be returned to its rightful owners, and that you should stand bold, stay unafraid, and always move forward.
